About Alyce
Alyce Fortnoff is an Ohio LPCC with 24 years of clinical experience helping adults manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and life transitions. She works with people who are trying to make sense of major changes, including career shifts, relationship challenges, and questions about life purpose. Alyce uses practical, evidence-informed methods rather than jargon.
She focuses on emotional problems that often show up in early adulthood - feeling stuck after school, struggling with identity, or coping with new responsibilities. Alyce also sees clients working through addiction, intimacy and relationship issues, bipolar mood concerns, and ADHD-related struggles. Her practice includes attention to multicultural concerns and the effects of family of origin on current life patterns.
In session she helps people name and sit with difficult feelings such as guilt, shame, or isolation. She draws on clear, skills-based methods to build coping strategies for daily life. Sessions can include exploring how past wounds affect present choices and finding practical steps toward more manageable routines.
Alyce combines several well-known therapeutic approaches. She uses techniques from cognitive behavioral work to shift unhelpful thinking, acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and action, and client-centered ways of listening and responding. Mindfulness practices also appear when they fit the client's goals.
People meet her to address a wide span of concerns from grief and chronic illness to process addictions and polyamory-related issues. For young adults feeling behind or overwhelmed, Alyce offers straightforward help with concrete next steps and lasting skills.
How her approaches translate to online care
Alyce uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and take small, value-driven steps. ACT focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and choosing actions that match what a person wants their life to stand for.She also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking patterns that keep stress and anxiety stuck. CBT offers concrete skills for changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be practiced between sessions. Client-Centered Therapy is another thread of her work, which means the therapist listens closely and follows the client's pace while offering reflective feedback.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Alyce will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and recommend which methods to emphasize. That choice is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten commutes, or reduce the time needed for check-ins during a workday. Different approaches lend themselves to homework, guided practices, or skills coaching that can be done between sessions to support daily life.
